They're consecutive- so they can be written as:
x, x + 1, and x + 2.

The sum is more than 225, so:
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) > 225
we simplify to:
3x + 3 > 225
solve for x:
3x > 222
x > 74

So, if the question said the sum is "greater than" 225, the answer would be {75, 76, 77}.
If the question said the sum is "greater than or equal to" 225, the answer would be {74, 75, 76}.
